Channing Tatum talks first kisses, being naked and love advice

Channing Tatum has spilled the beans on his naked habits (yum!), how he didn't want to date wife Jenna and his first kiss...

Channing Tatum is already our perfect man here at Cosmo HQ, but his most recent interview has made him (if possible) even MORE of a catch!

In a no-holds-barred interview with Elle, Channing Tatum has dished on, pretty much, everything we ever wanted to know. From his first kiss to his first date with wife Jenna - not to mention his habit of stripping off the minute he gets home.

You read that correctly, yes. Let's pause for a moment and allow that image to settle in, shall we?

Ahem. Moving onwards - despite the Magic Mike star being one of THE most desirable men on the planet, it turns out things weren't always so. Just check out what he had to say about his first kiss (and first heartbreak) if you don't believe us:

"The first girl I ever kissed was named Danica. She broke up with me through a friend who yelled—out the bus window—'Oh yeah, Danica doesn't want to go out with you anymore.' The whole bus burst into laughter."

Ouch. We bet Danica feels pretty awful about THAT now.

However, when it comes to his wife Jenna, it turns out that Channing himself was the one playing hard to get - until one of his BFFs told him to stop running away from falling in love (we can smell a movie plot here):

"I had just gotten out of a pretty long relationship, so I was in no way ready for another [when I met Jenna on Step Up]. I was trying to run from what I knew Jenna was—not someone I was just going to date. But one of my buddies was like, 'What are you doing, man? She's dope.' That night I showed up at her hotel room with a sombrero on, and that was it."

N'aww, isn't that the cutest thing ever? So how do the pair keep the flames of passion alive?

"I wish I could say it was one thing... But I think communication and being brutally honest about the things that you want—what you fantasize about, or whatever…. No matter what, talk to each other. That stuff you might be nervous to hear? You gotta want to know."

Yuh-huh, through talking and communication. We told you he was perfect - especially when you factor in the fact that he gets his Magic Mike buns out every evening when he gets home:

"I have a really nice back porch where the pool is. Once the shoes are off, the socks come off too, and then everything else downstairs just follows at some point."

Yum. Jenna, the word "jealousy" just doesn't cover it.
